ECON 241 Macroeconomic Growth and Development 6 credits
Why are some countries rich and others poor? What causes countries to grow over time? This course documents different patterns of macroeconomic development across the world and how economic theory explains those patterns. We will draw on both cross-country evidence and individual case studies to understand the role of formal and informal institutions, culture, geography, policy, and other fundamental causes of differences in long run macroeconomic outcomes.

HIST 217 Pirates, Rebels, Voodoo Queens: Black New Orleans 6 credits
Founded as La Nouvelle-Orléans in 1718, New Orleans was an imperial arena for France, Spain, and the US. It has a unique, diverse heritage, and its motto, “Let the Good Times Roll,” champions joy for life. The Big Easy is a distinct space for African, African American, and Caribbean histories and cultures. Through the 20th century, one third or more of the city’s population has been Black. This course uncovers NOLA’s Black and Creole populations' lives from the 1700s to Hurricane Katrina, including enslaved people's resistance, cultural expressions (such as music, carnival, cuisine, and religious practices like Voodoo), environmental challenges, race, class, and gender.

SOAN 233 Anthropology of Food 6 credits
Food is the way to a person’s heart but perhaps even more interesting, the window into a society’s soul. Simply speaking understating a society’s foodways is the best way to comprehend the complexity between people, culture and nature. This course explores how anthropologists use food to understand different aspects of human behavior, from food procurement and consumption practices to the politics of nutrition and diets. In doing so we hope to elucidate how food is more than mere sustenance and that often the act of eating is a manifestation of power, resistance, identity, and community.
